Hi Raghu,

Steps are :-

1. Configure SM59 on XI to communicate to SAP backend system.

2. Configure port on XI for IDoc communication.

3.Go to transaction IDX2 and click on “Delete” after selecting the existing data.

4.Go to transaction IDX2 and click on “Create”.

5.Enter the IDoc Type and the Source Port as defined in step #2. Click “Continue”.

6.If successful, the following will show up. If error occurs, then the IDX1 configurations will need to be re-checked.

Hi Raghu,

it is very easy:

1) delete the existing

2) call transaction IDX2 again

3) load IDOC

Hi,

It is simple.

1. Goto IDX2 in XI and delete the existing metadata.

2. Now, Select the Node under which you want to load the metada.

3. Now press the F5 or create button and enter the IDoc type (e.g. orders) and Source Port (you have to type the name). This Source Port will point to R/3 system.

4. Finally press the Continue button.

Note: if you don't know about the Souce Port whether it exist or not, then to do so, go the IDX1 and see all the ports and see if any of them is pointig to R/3 (inside the port there will be RFC). If you do not have the port then you need to first create the RFC in XI using SM59 which will point to R/3, then create a prot and assign this port to it. Thats it.

HI Raghu,

Refer the below link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ab/bdb13b00ae793be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

Prerequisites

To access the metadata in the sender system, you must establish an RFC connection to this system using the port maintenance in the IDoc adapter.

Procedure

1. To find out what metadata has already been loaded, call the transaction Metadata Overview for IDoc Adapter (IDX2).

The system displays a screen with the directory of all systems connected with the IDoc adapter (including a description) for which metadata has already been loaded. Choose Port Maintenance in IDoc Adapter () to call the corresponding transaction and to create additional ports.

2. Expand the individual systems to display the IDoc types and clients including a description for each system. The system displays the metadata for each connected system for which metadata has already been loaded.

3. To apply the metadata structure loaded from a particular system to another system (for example, to an SAP reference system), select the link to the corresponding IDoc type and choose Copy ().

The system displays a dialog box in which you can copy the IDoc type description to another system (Target Port).

4. To delete metadata that has already been loaded, select the link to the corresponding IDoc type and choose Delete ().

The system asks you if you really want to delete the selected structure.

5. To delete the metadata structure, choose Yes.

6. To load additional metadata, choose Create ().

The system displays a dialog box where you can enter the IDoc Type including Extension and the system (Source Port).

7. Make the required entries and choose Continue.

The new structure is inserted in the tree structure as follows:

¡ If the structure originates from a system from which metadata has already been loaded, it is inserted below the structures already loaded from this system.

¡ If the structure originates from a system from which no metadata has already been loaded, it is inserted together with the system below the already listed systems.

8. To display details about a metadata structure that has already been loaded, choose the link to the corresponding IDoc type. To display this structure in detail, choose Display (). The system displays the structure in a hierarchy tree.

9. To display the corresponding system (port) and the basic type from the detailed display, choose Header Information ().

10. To display the segment versions of all segment types in the structure, choose All Segment Versions ().

11. Select a segment to display all its fields.

Thnx
